Shaq’s New Ride

Shaquille O’Neal is considered to be one of the most dominant basketball players in NBA history. A Louisiana State University Alumni, Shaq has played for six teams throughout his 19 year NBA career and was announced as a nominee for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on December 21, 2015. If there’s one thing even more incredible than Shaq’s career, it’s his height. Shaq is 7’ 1’’ tall and weighs 325 pounds. So, when it comes to driving, a Mini Cooper would probably not be his best option. With the help of Georgia-based SuperTruck and Wade Ford, Shaq recently purchased a behemoth pickup truck based off of an F-650 commercial chassis, equipped with leather interior, navigation, heated seats and all the modern luxuries that you would find in an F-250. However, this one comes with the commercial version of the 6.7-liter Powerstroke V-8, and it produces 330 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque! F-650’s are medium-duty commercial trucks produced by Ford since 2000, and they are built to get the job done. They’re also made to help keep operating costs as low as possible. This beautiful and powerful truck comes with the choice of three cab styles: Pro Loader®, straight frame models, and the new F-650 and F-750 tractor models. Ford takes pride in building hardworking, reliable commercial grade trucks for today’s most demanding jobs. These trucks are so tough that developmental vehicles were autonomously driven by robots to limit human driver exposure to punishing driving conditions. These procedures included thousands of miles of extremely rough roads simulating gravel washboards, potholes, and the worst of road conditions. You might not be one of the most well-known NBA basketball players, but you deserve the quality, toughness, and comfort of Ford.
